Leaglize Me

Today in Rel Ethics we were talking about immigration and most importantly illgeal aliens. THe guest speaker we had to was very obvously all about some amensity and equal rights, which got me very frustrated. I know people should be treated equally but i think that deporting people who have not followed the law should be deported.

In 9th grade my mom and I almost got deported because we didn't fill out one form and my mom needed to test another nursing exam. It wasn't just a joke, oh haha we might get thrown out, it was five months of fear and sadness and worry for me and my mom. Not to mention the thousands of dollars my mother spent on fees and government crap just to get here in the first place. I think that to treat people equally you would have to kick people out who did not follow the law when they clearly knew it. It is not our responsiblity to make their lives better, if they want to come back and fill out the proper paper work that is fine, otherwise i do not think it is right.

It really scares me to think that all these people could be getting away with what the did when me and my mom tried to do everything the right way and still got punished. It is not fair, isn't that what we were fighting for?
